Training Weekend Time Trials

During our recent Training Weekend at Surrey University in Guildford and enthused by the recent article in GymCraft by John Beer, we conducted some “Time Trials” of our own. The intention was to test our club members’ Core Stability and efficiency by using the same “30 Jump” test used by John on his elite trampolinists - The Trampolinists were timed for 30 jumps from a standing start, attempting to take as long as possible. His were looking at times of about 1 minute, while ours were just trying to see how stable they are and looking to form a platform to build on. The results were actually quite pleasing and give everyone something to look to improve on:
